Noa Lang livened up his return at Club Brugge with a goal and thanks to the goal in the 63rd minute, the leader won comfortably against Zulte Waregem (3-0) on Sunday evening. The wing attacker hired from Ajax is not only happy with the goal afterwards. He hopes for a long time to have left the corona problems, which caused him some time missing at Bruges, for good.

“I am not only happy with my goal, but also very happy that I can and may play football again”, emphasizes the overjoyed Lang on the website of Bruges. “Those two weeks of quarantine were really terrible for me, because I was seriously ill for a few days.” The winger was prematurely removed from Zulte Waregem by trainer Philippe Clement. In their own words, long is therefore far from the level of before the corona infection.

“I was only allowed to do some exercises again after a week and a half, but that was a bit disappointing. Even now I feel that I am still far from one hundred percent cured, because after the rest I had it quite difficult at times”, the tastemaker of Bruges, which is on its way to the title in the Pro League with the Belgian superpower. The coming days are all about recovery. “And hope that things will go a bit better against Charleroi (March 12, ed.) And Ghent (March 15, ed.) So that we will be back at full strength again.”

The goal that Lang scored on Sunday, already his thirteenth for Bruges, this season, was not enough to call up the Dutch national team. The wing attacker has been selected for the Dutch Juniors, which will soon start with the group stage of the European Championship. For the team of national coach Erwin van de Looi, duels with Romania (March 24), Germany (March 27) and Hungary (March 30) are on the program. The final selection of the Dutch Juniors will be announced to the world on 15 March.
